relationship help: My wife is on the Internet playing Wizard 101 constantly. - Help.com

marriage counseling. are you mad ’cause you don’t get a turn or ’cause she doesn’t have dinner waiting?

I agree with monkichirmo - if talking to her about it doesn’t solve the problem, you should look into trying to get some sort of outside help or counselling.

Agreed, outside help. And what does she point fingers about? Do you come home and play games too? Also, does she work?

I feel your pain Anon. If I were you, my next step would be to tell her that her addiction is ruining your marriage and that you feel neglected. If she wants to save your marriage, she needs to spend time with you. If you see no change, spend some time away from home and see if she actually realizes you mean what you say. You are lucky she isn’t cheating on you online. She is lucky you are not cheating on HER!

Anyone who spends more time on the computer than working on a relationship is ruining that relationship. Before the damage is done, the one who has been neglected should raise his/her voice over this. If there is no change or the one who is constantly on the computer does not make any effort, it tells only one thing: he/she does not love the person he/she hurts. It is an addiction just like spending money, or drugs, or alcohol. Obviously that person chose his/her addiction over his/her relationship and is not willing to change it. In that case the one who is hurt should end such relationship and never go back to a person who is addicted to anything if he/she doesn’t change and go through serious counseling.
